In an unbiased \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction, holes diffuse from the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)regions to \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)regions because of:
| 1. | the attraction of free electrons of the \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)region. |
| 2. | the higher hole concentration in the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)region than that in the \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)region. |
| 3. | the higher concentration of electrons is in the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)region than that in the \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)region. |
| 4. | the potential difference across the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction. |
